A resurgence of mad monarchists?

6 08 2023

Some readers may recall that the ultra-royalist Thai Pakdee Party was resoundingly rejected by voters across the country. Some of their constituency candidates battled to collect more than a few dozen votes. But electoral defeat does not bother these mad monarchists because they reject the results. More, they reject the current political system.

Their positions are staggeringly bereft of truth in favor of conspiracies and lies. Of course, this is not that different from extremists in other places. Indeed, Thai Pakdee borrows from their tactics and ideology. While we would have thought that these deranged conservatives were funded by military/ISOC sources, their language and “ideas” give an impression of external funding.

Here’s recent example of their mania, fittingly appearing with Manager Online and is our very rough translation.

Thai Pakdee, new blood, announced that it’s time to wash away the legacy of the people. It’s time to RESET Thai politics

Statement of the Thai Phakdi New Blood Party RESET Thailand on establishment of a monarchy according to the constitution

For 91 years Thai politics has fallen under the sinful legacy of the People’s Party, impersonating democracy with the monarch as head of state instead of a constitutional monarchy according to the constitution, which is the correct regime for Thailand.

All over the world, constitutional monarchy is the regime recognized as one of the best forms of democracy in the world. That’s according to EIU’s Democracy Index (Economist Intelligent [sic] Unit) rating.

With the sinful inheritance of the People’s Party, the intent was to claim democracy to oppress the monarchy aiming to cut off monarchy out of the structure of Thai government by acting as if to raise the monarch to be above politics.

After that, a fake democracy was created claiming the constitution, claiming elections, to deceive the public and seize power, leading to military dictatorship and then capitalist dictatorship.

The latest movement is of political parties as Western puppets aiming to overthrow the monarchy and establish a federal system or even a republic instead of a monarchy under  the constitution.

This movement can be seen from the recent case where  the Puea Thai Party claimed that it would not amend Article 112, as Move Forward would. But Puea Thai also proposes to amend the entire constitution by elected MPs. The consequences of this will be worse than the amendment of Article 112 because:

1. The 14 May 2023 election was a shameful election under the influence of digital fraud that deluded people into voting, and

2. The progressives will draft a new constitution that will greatly reduce royal power and the role of the monarchy to the utmost.

How to explain digital fraud? It led to the selection of anti-monarchists to become MPs who will lead the writing of a new constitution to establish a federal system or a republic.

The 91 years of evil descent under the legacy of the People’s Party sins has reached a crisis point in the historical path of Thai politics. Will Thailand be a normal, happy country under the royal protection of the King or will it be a nation without its main institutions and be a under the control of Western powers?

It’s time for the Thai Pakdi Party to stand up again. It’s time for the Thai Phakdi New Blood Party. We cannot tolerate the pain of the politicians, political capitalists, puppet parties, and foreign-funded organizations that collaborate to harm and destroy the main institution of the nation [monarchy] under the lies that continue the legacy of the People’s Party.

The army’s real task: coups

It’s time to join together and wash away the legacy of the People’s Party. It’s time to RESET Thai politics and establish the political system with the King, the people and political parties as one to be a free and peaceful land forever under the constitutional monarchy.

This is considered better than a universal democracy with a monarchy that has been and will always be and to be above democracy ruled by the American Empire. [PPT: We are guessing a bit here. The original is: อันถือว่าเป็นระบอบ ประชาธิปไตยสากล ของประเทศ ที่มีสถาบันพระมหากษัตริย์ ที่เป็นมา เป็นอยู่ และให้เป็นตลอดไป และให้อยู่เหนือระบอบประชาธิปไตย อันมีจักรวรรดิอเมริกาเป็นผู้บงการ]

Thai Pakdee Party

These ideas are remarkable. To call Thai Pakdee conservative is misleading. They are troglodytes. Yet several of the reincarnations of yellow shirt began with troglodytes stirring a pot of discontent, building, sucking funds from the military and capitalists, invariably supported by Manager, until a street-level movement resulted. Those street movements led to two coups. Is this the beginning of another such movement? Or is it dinosaurs fighting extinction?

Conservative time | Political Prisoners in Thailand

[…] Then there’s Chuwit Kamolvisit accusing Srettha of tax evasion when with Sansiri. While many, many businesses in Thailand (as elsewhere) engage in many schemes to avoid and/or reduce tax, in the particular case Chuwit highlighted, he seems to have gotten it wrong. Still, mud sticks, and Srettha’s decision to sue Chuwit for defamation may add to the perception that he’s covering up. Of course, there’s also the link to Thaksin on tax evasion, encouraging more mad monarchist conspiracies. […]

[…] Back in August, PPT posted on the potential for a resurgence of the mad monarchists. And, as Prachatai reports, another outbreak of ultra-royalist intimidating violence seems on the cards. […]
